    • Osteo meaning structure and path for pathology = Osteopathy.

    • Traditional Manual Osteopathy looks at the human system as a whole, a working system where each piece of anatomy is directly connected and interlinked and if certain pieces of anatomy are not communicating properly then the healing process can be hindered.

    • “To find the health should be the object of the doctor. Anyone can find disease.” (Dr. Andrew T. Still, 1828-1917)

    • Osteopathic Manual Practitioners treat the whole person.

    • An Osteopathic Manual Practitioner takes a global view of the body and look at it from many different perspectives including cranial, muscular, fascial, skeletal and visceral.

    • Osteopathic Manual Practitioners seek to find the source of the problem to attenuate or eliminate the dysfunction that is preventing the body from healing itself and finding a proper equilibrium.

    • Manual Osteopathy is extremely safe, gentle and effective. The goal in an osteopathic manual therapeutic session is to allow your body to heal yourself.

    • Simply, an osteopathic manual practitioner is thought to listen with their hands to detect the physiological movements that occur.

    • A well trained osteopathic manual practitioner feels inherent movement that occurs due to the increase and decrease of fluids and pressures.

    • Osteopathic Manual Practitioners use a variety of techniques to ease pain, diminishing the intensity, frequency, duration and often eliminating pain completely.

    • Techniques used include visceral manipulation, cranial-vertebro-sacral therapy, muscle energy, stretching, myofascial release and fascial work or better known as connective tissue manipulation.

    • Manual osteopathy is the use of the practitioner's hands through gentle and safe palpations to examine the systems and areas in question.

    • With gentle manipulations, myofascial releases (soft body tissues), visceral manipulation, craniosacral therapy, other therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises the goal is for you to reduce your chief complaint.
